To the Editor:

For your conscience to work properly, it must be correctly informed. For Catholics, a well-formed conscience never will contradict Catholic moral teaching. If we are true, faithful Catholics, our consciences will be formed according to the truths taught us in our faith. Unfortunately today, many Catholics have not formed their consciences adequately regarding key moral issues.

Intrinsically evil actions are those that fundamentally conflict with the moral law. It is a serious sin for Catholics to deliberately endorse or promote any of these actions. Catholics should know that directly targeting an innocent life in abortion is an intrinsic evil.
